A souvenir from a short but unforgettable trip to Lucerne. Lucerne is especially well-known for its wooden bridges. Today, the Chapel Bridge runs from the New Town on the southern bank of the Reuss to the Rathausquai in the medieval Old Town, zigzagging as it passes the impressive Water Tower. Lucerne's landmark is considered to be Europe's oldest covered bridge. It was built in 1332 and was originally a part of the city fortifications. Lucerne’s water tower is a powerful yet attractive construction. This octagonal tower, over 34 meters high, was built around 1300 as part of the city wall.
